I must admit that although their food (you can just about call it that!) I do have a thing for Maccie D's Cheeseburgers when drinking / playing. Usually round the evening off with a Chinese, however - Fried Noodles & Beansprouts and Satay Chicken Skewers!

Gah, what with this and the other thread with crisps in it, I've just had to go and make myself a bacon sandwich! lol

Used to be a slice / pastie man
Then I discovered Greggs sarnies (chicken with mango mayo)
Very nice and I would hope a bit healthier than a slice ?

Good choice! A Tesco BLT on granary for about £1.85 is pretty good as well - so long as it isn't completely slathered in mayo. <yark!>

No it is a sarnie on nice crusty bread in a plastic pack thing like on 2 levels (hard to explain)

Has anyone tried the pubs that offer the £3.50 carvery?
Amazing value

Yeah the one near Rochester had a stopper for ages, was doing it every day whilst getting a £3.50 carvery, it was fcuking immense, pryamid plate paradise.

As for other places, I usually mix bakers/supermarket sandwiches/meal deals with my mate (£8 for 2 meals in a lot of pubs near)/toby carvery or Earlybird Harvester.

As for 2 for 1, I'm frankly amazed they are still in business. Imagine some highly paid marketing exective getting a brainwave 'I know, let's introduce a concept where we double the price of every item on the menu and make it 2 for 1, and everyone will love it!' Unfortunately he was right, the british public have completely been taken in, and the food is disgusting too, sent ours back last month there and wont be back in the food area again.

241 is rubbish i think
However the carvery is superb and at 3.50 impossible to knock

My local pub was dying a death and then it was made into a carvery pub and now its packed every night.

For me its a diet of utter shite, but I like to offset this with a decent roast on a Sunday. If its possible......

How about robbing sweets from a pound shop?

Yes I have a £3.50 carvery pub, bizarrely with a dial. It is THE best value/quality meal/quantity balance in the whole of Hov. And you can't complain with a feckin' dial landing on SKILL can you?

Not sure where it's sourced from, but the food is on hot plates, not some ting and ping and zing out the freezer, carrots with straggly old lady hairs and soggy mushy crap crap. Good roasties, you can have several Yorkshires and stuffing balls.

Why pay £4 for a meal for two at ASDA when for an extra £3 you get more food, better taste and a dial with no washing up.

You saying you did the Rochester one every day, guess I should have had carvery every day really. I'm not that on top, I'm a greedy git for my size though. I can tuck away those roasties.

Bread sauce. Stuffing and dial.

Agree with MV, Mc Donalds, obviously complete lies, not a trace of proper meat. Artificial synthesized pap, but it's tasty isn't it? Tasty in a prion drenched offalfest with super sweet sauce way. I gues the gherkins are real. Nah, probably injected with gherkin thickener. Puny gherkins are plumped up with DNA recombinant modified prion juice. Who am I kidding? I mean all fast food is tasty, KFC is my least favourite with all those greasy bargain buckets.
Zinger pinger mingers are ok though.

Pubs are hit and miss.

Most pub food is bearable, yeah it's cheap shite microchips and generic slim burger offal in a bap, but you're proabably too pished to notice.

Some pubs I draw the line at though. Surf and Turf where they take it too literally. You get white powder and grass. Not very appetising, does make your clothes smell fresh though.

for chain pubs walkabout food is more varied in range and better in quality than spoons and with that boomerang card (you get this for £3), you get 25% off making it very cheap.

Other than that, I do like the mexican chicken roll they do in greggs, or else its a wrap or something...

Some days its just snacks, but I try not to make a habit of it!
